Oh, now I want to watch and maybe READ Neverending Story again!!

The breakups always took weeks, too. These grinding emotional autopsies before the wretched, long-suffering relationship could finally be declared dead.

Ohmygod, I remember those from my younger years. Emotional autopsies, how appropriate.

Those are the places I would go if I could. Other worlds, vast and terrible and beautiful and weird. Places where magic is real, because oh I get so tired of all this relentless mundanity.
Not even just relentless, really - violent mundanity.

Everyone always makes it seem terrible, to doubt whether you love a child. But love isn't something that you can simply bend around all berriers. It isn't a coat you can wear for all occasions.

yeah... that's a tough one.

Like there's not enough bones and meat inside me to build a person worth knowing. Like I needed a costume as big as a whole fucking building to pass for one.

I found this on my kindle and damn, every page is pure gold.

We don't tell stories about ourselves anymore, just let the mundane blurt from our brains into our phones, hit send, half-read the reply in a rush, knowing it's our turn to blurt again, to send a photo of our boring lunches or our boring faces, made slightly less boring by the application of a colorized filter.
damn.
